The Guide Dogs charity is urging Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to announce additional support at the Spring Budget
A charity is calling on Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to increase financial support for families with disabled children by £15 per month to help them during the ongoing cost of living crisis. Guide Dogs recently handed in an open letter directly to 11 Downing Street ahead of next week’s Spring Statement urging the UK Government to help families with disabled children.
Guide Dogs ‘Out of Pocket’ report studied how the cost of living crisis is impacting families with a vision impaired child. The survey revealed that families of vision impaired children have to pay greater energy and fuel costs relating to their child’s disability. One parent of a child with visual impairment said: “We have to keep lights on longer in the winter so he can see the stairs and the hallway and the heating on as his muscles hurt more in the winter so he can’t get cold.”
